#1 150 were killed, but to prevent fussing by fools, they'll only admit to 15. That's been the pattern in both Afghanistan and Iraq... and elsewhere they aren't even admitting to engagements, except when caught on camera. ;-)

#2 NATO numbers have been so huge since they took command that I do wonder about their accuracy. 50 seems to be a common choice.
